Evans Ganthier, 30, of 38 Miller Ave., Central Islip, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Rebecca Koster, 24, whose charred body was found in a brush-filled field in North Stonington, Conn.

Suffolk police did not release any other information Monday night, other than to say that Ganthier was in custody and he's scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Suffolk County First District Court in Central Islip.

Koster had been with friends at a Holbrook bar and her friends dropped her off at her home on Falcon Avenue at about 3:30 a.m. That was the last time Koster was seen.
